What happened to Forums?

The server the forums were hosted on suffered from a primary drive failure on the 6th of February. From then on things took a nose dive with lost backups, wrong PHP installations, and futile efforts to get the server upgraded.

After 12 days, we are back up again, although we lost a few days worth of forum activity because the only backup I had made was one from a few days prior to the drive failure. If you lost your registration, some forum posts, uploads or avatars you will need to do those again.
